    you might feel okay now- but your body WILL burn out and it will be hard to recover. Fix it before that happens. So yea, it's too low. You need to eat more.

    We all are required to eat a minimum of 1200 calories a day, otherwise our bodies go into starvation mode, our metabolic rate slams on the breaks making it harder to lose weight.

    Now once you get the 1200 calories in your digestive system, there is nothing wrong with burning thru exercise a couple hundred of it.

    Dear Posters,

    I have locked this topic and respectfully request people please keep in mind the following guideline when posting in our community:
    3. No Promotion of Unsafe Weight-Loss Techniques or Eating Disorders
    a) Posts intended to promote potentially unsafe or controversial weight loss products or procedures, including non-medically prescribed supplements or MLM products will be removed without warning.
    b) Profiles, groups, messages, posts, or wall comments that encourage anorexia, bulimia, or very low calorie diets of any kind will be removed, and may be grounds for account deletion. This includes positive references to ana/mia, purging, or self-starving. Our goal is to provide users with the tools to achieve their weight management goals at a steady, sustainable rate. Use of the site to promote or glamorize dangerously low levels of eating is not permitted.
    c) Photos intended to glamorize extreme thinness will be deleted.
    d) Those seeking support in their recovery from eating disorders are welcome at MyFitnessPal.

    Thank you for your understanding and help in keeping MFP a safe, supportive, and friendly community.

    Respectfully,
